[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Invite God to be God by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

The faith-filled prayer is a prayer of admonishment. The prayer of faith
invites God to be God, to be sovereign over a tumultuous time. Dennis
McDonald models this type of admonishment. He was our church’s hospital
chaplain for many years. I was always struck by the transformation that
came over him as he began to minister. When he entered the hospital room,
he went straight to work.

He would anoint the sick person with oil and pray, “Lord, this is your
servant, whom you love and whom we love. Let your healing happen in this
room. Satan, you must leave. You’re a liar, and your words have no merit.
This child is bought by God. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.” This is the job
of the church: to take struggling followers and lead them back to the path
of faith. This is how happiness happens.
